Decade

As the aughts come to a close on my birthday, I can’t help but reflect on the last ten years. I’m kinda nervous about the coming decade, because in the last one I’ve gotten everything I want, and how do you top that?

In the year 2000 I decided to go back to school. I did my undergrad, then my masters, then I finally decided what I wanted to do with my life: work in Publishing. And then I was lucky to actually get a job! I moved into a home in a neighbourhood I love, just before prices went out of reach; I have wonderful friends and neighbours, and most importantly, I have these folks:

So, tonight I am making just one resolution: to be grateful every day.

It really is amazing at this stage in our lives to see how much a decade can change, isn't it? I was a fresh grad from library school in a new city back then, and since then? MOved back, bought/sold houses, two kids, etc. I'm sort of hoping thigns will be calmer this next 10 years!
